Vinyl Pressing

Hi does anybody know where i can do vinyl pressing in Sydney...

I wanna press 2 exclusive songs on vinyl but i don't know where they do it for CHEAP.

I went to CSR and they said 100 dollars and the quality will be shit...

Any other option that i can find vinyl pressing very cheap and the quality to being the best.

you can't press 2 tracks

like the dude at CSR said, you can press them as acetates but the quality will be shocking and they have a life of I think 5 or so plays?

if you wanna press a vinyl you gotta do it in bulk and its very expensive

Are you serious?, DAMN.

So there is no where else that will do it for 2 songs that is.

acetate dub plates are said to hold at the most 30 plays depending on how they are cut.

learn more about the subject here -> www.vinylium.ch

don't bother with vinyl, the expense is in the master press molds and ... well if you're pressing only two vinyls, don't even bother.

CD R all the way baby it's sad but it's that way

yeah, even the pro's use CDR to play promo/unreleased tracks, its quite common, armin does it all the time.

There is another way;

Vestax released a vinyl 'cutter' rather than a press.

Now, im not sure of life of cut vinyls, but this seems like it would be an easier way to go.

The setup costs abt $18 000, so only businesses really would have them.

I havent looked into much, just saw the contraption when i went to buy my decks

Vestax revolutionized the market by releasing a vinyl cutter that does higher quality dub plates. While the idea is fantastic, go and try to find a business equiped with one
I haven't

the life of those vinyls is said to be similar to those of "real" pressed vinyl, because the materials used for doing the plates is of superior quality and much more wear proof.

theres a place over heree in osaka japan that has a vinyl cutter so if worse comes to worse and you really want a song cut i can hook it up for ya!!! dont know exactly how muchb it is but i know it aint cheap cause each blank record costs like $20 then each needle costs like $200 and they can only cut up to 10 records before wearing out or whatever!!!

anys if ya want something cut i can get it done over here!
